In my world, Linux has also taken over the desktop. For my personal needs, I would never consider OSX or Windows for that task.

The desktop feels currently like a neglected area. OSX gets more iOSified with every release, whatever Microsoft does gets booed, regardless if it's good or bad.

Much functionality that used to be on the desktop has wandered into the browser. What desktop you're using isn't as important as it used to be.

I wonder if that pendulum ever swings back.
